Censored 2014

Fearless Speech in Fateful Times; The Top Censored Stories and Media Analysis of 2012–13

The annual yearbook from Project Censored features the year's most underreported news stories, striving to unmask censorship, self-censorship, and propaganda in corporate-controlled media outlets. Censored 2014 features the top-25 most underreported stories, as voted by scholars, journalists, and activists across the country and around the world, as well as chapters exploring timely issues from the previous year with more in-depth analysis.

No? Neither did the rest of the world. That's because these and countless other news items are suppressed or ignored by our nation's "free press" every day. For the past forty years, Project Censored has been unearthing the buried stories that corporate media deem unfit to print. They also just hosted a jam-packed Media Freedom Summit and co-founded the Global Critical Media Literacy Project in partnership with the Action Coalition for Media Education and the graduate program in Media Literacy and Digital Culture at Sacred Heart University.

To celebrate, we're showcasing Censored 2017 at a 25% off online discount and offering 50% off Censored backlist titles (from Censored 1996 to Censored 2006), along with select Seven Stoires books on media literacy, including titles by Arundhati Roy and Noam Chomsky.

Andy Lee Roth is the associate director of Project Censored. He has co-edited four previous editions of Project Censored’s yearbook and has contributed his own chapters in 2008, 2009, and 2014. Roth’s research on topics ranging from ritual, to broadcast news interviews, to community organizing has appeared in publications including the International Journal of Press/Politics, Social Studies of Science, Media, Culture & Society, City & Community, and Sociological Theory. His book reviews appear in YES! magazine. Roth teaches sociology at Citrus College and serves on the boards of the Media Freedom Foundation and the Claremont Wildlands Conservancy.
